Sweet Stuff

Best pastries in McLean. Love their coffees and sandwiches too. Their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Was looking for a store open before 10 am before going to difficult run trail. This place came up on yelp.It's a small deli style store with fresh press juices, coffee, croissant with multiple fillings, sandwiches and panini, bakery goods, froyo machines and multiple normal convent store things. Got two crossaints ham and cheese and chocolate. They offered to heat it up in either microwave or grill. We choose grill. Yummy!I got a skinny vanilla latte and my friend got fresh pressed Apple and orange juice made from two apples and one orange. It tasted so fresh and was great charge before the hike.

Let me just say that this use to be one of my favourite sandwich shops. When I lived around the corner I would go here regularly and when I moved I rave about this place to my husband. So when I finally had a chance to take him over the holidays I was so excited, I have never been so disappointed. I don't know what happened to this place, new owners...but I'm struggling to even give this place a one.My husband and I both ordered The Scottish, which is smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers serves on a fench baguette. First off the baguette was old, not like hours old but a day old. My jaw got tired trying to chew and I only finished half after pulling off some of the harder chunks of bread. They skimped on the cream cheese, onions and capers. You couldn't taste anything besides the day old bread. My sister in law got a mixed fruit tart. Upon closer inspection we could see why they dusted it with powdered sugar. The fruit was dries out completely and looked stale. The slice of kiwi looked like it had been through a dehydrator. Not at all what you expect from a FRESH fruit tart. My husband also got a chocolate croissant, which wasn't even a croissant but more a loaf with some chocolate chips that were not even melted on the inside. You would think once you bake something it would melt, but the loaf was so big that chips just stayed whole.Please save your money and try another place. There are a lot of wonderful bakeries and little takeout spots in McLean...this sadly isn't one of them anymore.

Full disclosure; I haven't been here since I was a little kid! I'm 31 now, but my mom used to bring me here before we moved away from McClean when I was about to enter 4th grade! I have fond memories of coming here with my mom on the weekends and ordering a cinnamon bun (I believe it was a brioche bun) and devouring it!I randomly googled it and am so happy that Sweet Stuff is still around! The awning is even still the same, which makes me happy because it matches my memories!I sent a screenshot of the photos to my mom and she was thrilled, too! I live in Colorado now, but I hope to make it back to the area one day for a visit and I'll be sure to stop by and order my favorite cinnamon bun!

On our drive to the entrance to Great Falls Park, we realised the cafe on the park grounds only opened till 4pm, so we had to turn around looking for hiking snack and basically ended up here. - Egg salad sandwich: good bread apparently baked fresh every morning, good egg salad. Nothing to fault here.- Chocolate croissant: good but no great. We would have liked it more moist with a bit more chocolate filling. Instead it was a tiny bit too doughy.All in all, we would stop here again if we were around.

Everything is so good here. Fantastic sandwiches. The breads are so fresh. Noticeably fresh. Service is fantastic. Just love this place. I wish I live closer so I can come more often.

I know this place for last 14 yearsI love this spotLisa been there for years and she is so nice and warm I feel special every time I go there ,Thanks for the quality stuff and friendly Atmosphere

The owner, Lisa, is probably the nicest person you will ever meet. This is a great place to stop to get some coffee, candy or cakes and sandwiches. I used to stop here regularly and get a baguette sandwich with ham and cheese. I don't know what it is about this bread, but I LOVE their baguettes - really crispy and fresh and satisfying crunch when you bite into it. One of my favorite sandwiches in the world.Parking can be a pain sometimes - trucks tend to park along the side of the back of the parking lot making pulling out difficult, and everyone wants to go to 711 so the lot itself can be a zoo. There is now a strip mall next door which hopefully eases pressure on the parking there.This cute little place is a nice complement to the 7-11 when you want super friendly service and high quality lunch sandwich!

Good coffee, a little pricey but very sweet staff. Cute inside with many options and types of coffee and various drinks.

Poor service, I got the chicken panini was not the greatest and also the steak plate was bad, the tortillas were hard and the steak was chewy. Don't recommend anybody to come here!
